Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction 1-1 Overview The SuperServer 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR is a high-end server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC217HQ+-R2K02B 2U server chassis and the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF dual processor serverboard in four hot-swap nodes. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL 1-2 Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR lies the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® PCH C612 chipset and designed to provide maximum performance. Four of these serverboards can be mounted in the SC217HQ+-R2K02B chassis. The sections below cover the main features of the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF serverboard (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Chapter 1: Introduction I/O ports include a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 3.0 ports (additional one internal USB headers are included on the serverboard), an IPMI dedicated LAN port and two Ethernet ports. Note: For IPMI Configuration Instructions, please refer to the Embedded BMC Configuration User's Guide available at http://www.supermicro.com/support/ manuals/. Graphics Controller The X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF features an integrated ASpeed 2400 BMC with an integrated VGA/2D graphics controller.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL Front Control Panel SC217HQ+-R2K02B chassis includes four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the systems. Each control panel on the SuperServer 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR provides you with system monitoring and control for one server node. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.

Chapter 1: Introduction 1-6 2U Twin2: System Notes As a 2U Twin2 configuration, the SuperServer 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR is a unique server system. With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as four separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind. Nodes Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independent nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others.

Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL • Choosing a Setup Location Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. • • 2-4 • • • • • • • • • • This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL 2-5 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Locking Tabs Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. Releasing the Inner Rail Use the procedure below to release the inner rails from the outer rails.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL Installing The Inner Rails on the Chassis To install the inner rails, use the procedure below. Installing the Inner Rails (Figures 2-3 and 2-4) 1. Confirm that the left and right inner rails have been correctly identified. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail. 3.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails on the Rack Use the procedure below to install the outer rails onto the rack. Installing the Outer Rails (Figure 2-5) 1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. 2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail. 3. Hang the hooks of the front of the outer rail onto the slots on the front of the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack, as illustrated above. 4.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL Standard Chassis Installation Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-6) 1. Confirm that the inner rails are properly installed on the chassis. 2. Confirm that the outer rails are correctly installed on the rack. 3. Pull the middle rail out from the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball-bearing shuttle is at the front locking position of the middle rail. 4. Align the chassis inner rails with the front of the middle rails. 5.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface 3-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SC217 models include four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the systems. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take. Figure 3-1.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL 3-2 Control Panel Button Power The main power button on each of the four control panels is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to each of the four systems in the chassis. Turning power to the system off with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug the AC power cord from any external power source before servicing.
Chapter 3: System Interface • A flashing red light which flashes in four second interfals indicates a power failure. When notified of an alert, check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers and air shrouds are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the temperature is too high or a fan does not function properly.

OP EN 1st Engage the lip of the load plate and locking portion of the lever." 9. Close and lock the "Open 1st" lever.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink 1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the required amount has already been applied. 2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the Serverboard's and the Heatsink Bracket underneath. 3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e., the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (-do not over-tighten the screws to avoid possible damage to the CPU.) 4.
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HTR/HTTR/HTFR USER'S MANUAL Removing the Heatsink Caution: We DO NOT recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the CPU socket. 1. Unscrew the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence as shown in the illustration below. 2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!) 3.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 5-5 Installing Memory Installing Memory 1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 5-2). 2.
